Tomato Growing Thread 2022

A very strange years for some growing Tomatoes.

 

John558,
We had a slow start this year having started late but they seem to have caught up now and we have plenty of fruit forming now except on the Black Russian plants.

Must admit some of mine outside are not setting fruit like normal, the plants seem to set a couple or so flowers on each truss and the rest just appear do nothing but stay attached.
Both varieties I've never grown before, crimson crush and happy day.

Apart from one plant they seem to be healthy enough.
I can't even blame the weather, it's been quite good up till now.

 

Haircut time in the greenhouse. Lots of new fruits revealed!

 

eatenbyweasels,
Wow, so many tomatoes. What variety (ies) are they?

Regards

In that shot are, left to right:
Unknown striped mini plum bush, Brandywine Cherry, Santorini, Zuchertraube, Piglet Willie's French Black, Jaune Flammée, Der Kleine Doctor.

 

@Jenny namaste - also have a SunGold but in a pot in the greenhouse.
About 7ft high with 4 trusses set and 2-3 trusses in flower, the lower trusses with about 20 fruits on each, about 1" in size, though only one fruit starting to turn red so far.

 

Thank you everyone for replying to my question,
Jenny namaste

 

Mine were slow at the start and report they are still in first gear.

 

Picspam on the rest of the greenhouse toms:


Tonnelet, a stripey plum.


Cherry Ciliegia Cerise, which translates to "Cherry Cherry, Cherry". I wonder what type it is...


Dwarf Velvet Night. My first dwarf. Doing quite well, I think.


Amy's Apricot. This one is a bit plum-shaped, whereas my other plant is round - fruited.


JWK's Gardener's Delight. Bagged for seed saving.

Chickie Cherry. My one big let-down so far. Supposed to be a mini beef in yellow. Most fruits are not setting and the few that are, are greatly fused. Will need to taste exceptional to earn another sowing.

 

@eatenbyweasels so many different varieties you are growing and they all look great.

 

Thank you. Not sure where I'm going wrong with Chickie Cherry. Maybe it needs to be outdoors getting blown about for better pollination?

 

i have been eating honey combe since the beginning if June and had my first two Juane flamme yesterday

 

A few from this morning, some small lets call them Sungolds because they are not Alicante and some Super Sweet 100, though I'm not 100% sure on that looking at the size.
